Rafael Nadal vs. Novak Djokovic for the US Open Men's Title

[UPDATE: Novak Djokovic is your champ in straight sets – 6-2, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1 – capping one of the most amazing tennis years in the history of the sport. He was 64-2 in 2011 and won three of the four grand slam events.]

Novak Djokovic is the top-ranked tennis player in the world. Rafael Nadal is ranked second. The two will meet at 4 pm on CBS for the US Open title. Not a bad Monday in sports, huh? Tennis at 4, an early Monday Night Football game at 7, and then a nightcap at 10:30.

Here are their girlfriends, who should appear prominently on CBS: Maria Francisca Perello (on the right; she’s been dating Nadal for a few years) and Jelena Ristic (on the left, she’s been dating Djokovic for awhile). Looking for actual analysis on the match? Click here.

Nadal defeated Djokovic in the final last year in four sets. This year, Djokovic has dominated Nadal, going 5-0 including a victory in the Wimbledon final. My pick: Nadal.

Djokovic defeated Andy Murray in the Australian Open final, not Nadal. Nadal was knocked out in the quarters, I believe.

If I could but encapsulate this website in a paragraph at times, this would just about do it.

I can’t tell you anything about tennis other than it’s happening – go somewhere else for that – but here are some women.

Djokovic is -180 at my book. I won’t bet it, but will be pulling for Nadal as he hopefully marches on to GOAT status.

100% yes. The two MNF games suck ass tonight.

As for the match itself: Nadal has looked damn good this tournament and Novak hadn’t until the 3rd set of the Federer match. Nadal is 0-5 in finals this year against Novak, but for some odd reason I’m picking Nadal. I’m hoping for Novak, though. He could have an all-time great year if he wins today.

Tennis is so fickle. This time last year everyone was ready to say Nadal could be the GOAT. 5 losses to Novak later and Novak is the No. 1 player in the world with a chance to have the best year of all time. The gap between 1-3 and the rest of the field is amazing. Andy Murray is a really good player, but he had no chance against the top 2 for sure, and in a big match I wouldn’t take him over Federer either.

Still not fixed, huh?

He’s looking for more photos of the girlfriends so we can judge properly.

My favorite outlier on there is “Penn State ’95”. Yeah that’s a real chin scratcher….

HuskerDawg, what level tennis do you play?

Not very high, sadly. I took 2 years off because I wrecked the shit out of my ankle. I’m actually trying to start back up. I played ALTA (an adult league in Atlanta) a few years ago and loved it. I used to be pretty good, but my movement is garbage now.
